# Households Urged to Tackle Window Cleaning Before Next Heatwave

## Experts recommend taking action now as temperatures rise

Homeowners are being advised to prioritize window cleaning before the next heatwave hits the UK. With the summer sun intensifying, ensuring windows are free from dirt and grime can make a significant difference in home comfort.

Cleaning windows during a heatwave can prove unhelpful, as the sun dries the cleaning solution too quickly, leaving streaks. Georgia, a cleaning expert, emphasized, "If there's one bit of cleaning advice I can give any homeowner, it would be don't clean your windows in the sun." She encourages homeowners to take advantage of cooler times of the day for more effective results.

Despite the challenges, some homeowners find the task more appealing under sunny conditions. "I know this but I still hate it. Cleaning is best when the sun is shining and especially things like windows feel like sunny day chores!! Have to stop myself every time but then it never gets done," said one individual reflecting on the dilemma many face.

In addition, experts recommend trying to clean windows early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are lower. This approach not only improves the cleaning outcome but also makes the task more pleasant.

Taking these steps now can help homeowners enjoy a clearer view and a cooler indoor environment once the heatwave arrives.
